Newbie : from GB to CM12 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Just had a new SGS2 i9100P.
It is on Gingerbread stock, not rooted, simlocked.
What do I need to do to have it :
1) rooted
2) updated to CM12
Do I need to update it to stock JB from Kies ?
Or do I need to root it first with a CF Root method ? Which thread for this ?
Thanks

Hi there,
You should update to stock JB first using kies then root your device.

If its android 5.1.1 then you will need to downgarde to 5.0.2 or better 4.4.2 by downloading ftf firmwaire files and then flashing it by using flashtool then you can easily root, install NUT dual recovery and then can flash any pre rooted 5.1.1 ROM from development section
